West Point Gold drills 30.4 m of 2.31 g/t Au at Tyro Main

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 5, 2026) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQX: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce drill results from 18 holes completed at the Tyro Main and adjacent Decimal Hill zones, at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The results are highlighted by GC26-138 (core), which intersected 30.4 metres ("m") of 2.31 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"). This mineralized interval is bisected by a 2.8m void (Table 1) that is likely an adit (300 Level) driven on vein prior to 1920.

The results from 18 holes representing 4,304m are presented below. The remaining results from the 21,079m drill program represent 603m from the Black Dyke target. The Company plans to resume drilling in mid-September.

Highlights:

Hole GC26-138 (core) drilled across the Tyro Main Zone and cut the 300L at 56.9m to 59.7m. The vein returned 2.18 g/t Au over 7.7m above the 300L, and 2.36 g/t Au over 22.7m below it. The estimated true width ("TW") for this intercept, including the 300L, is 28m.

Hole GC26-138 also encountered elevated gold grades (6.4 to 14.9 g/t Au) adjacent to the mine workings, suggesting it was driven on high-grade vein and breccia that can be projected to depth.

Hole GC26-162 (RC) traversed 59.5m (TW = 37m) of 0.68 g/t Au at 166.1 to 225.6m.

Some of the deeper holes (below 200m) encountered areas of weaker or no significant mineralization; however, the widespread presence of anomalous gold values and what appear to be "upper level" textures and alteration suggest that there may be stacked horizons of gold deposition, indicating the Tyro Main Zone remains open to depth

" Drilling in the upper levels of the Tyro Main Zone continues to produce consistent results and West Point Gold is well positioned for the Tyro maiden resource, which remains on track to be completed in late Q3 or early Q4 this year. Additionally,
